Today is 1/11/2024 And A Happy New Year to all 
in about 110 days I will be back outside with plants in the ground G_d willing
not sure if I am going to drop seeds or just find some cuts/clones
it is so nice not to be growing over the winter and have to keep up a room
I do love to grow but if I start with a seed and I will drop 150 seeds and
have way too many plants and no room in no time
at the least if i wait to drop some beans in March I can grow my way out of the room
I can only have six and need to build a greenhouse
It has been awhile I have taken a trip down the rabbit hole of making oil for vape cartridges
and disposable pens
I have smoke so much oil I will never rot when I die 
a lot to learn and so much bullshit folks share on the web, sadly if you can cut and paste
quickly you are an expert 
after smoking 100 grams oil out of 200 1/2 gram cartridges and pen I have it down
to my liking made as it should
last batch I made I started with Diamonds, had to move to my grow room
glass ware paints a very bad picture for my wife
found someone local selling cuts may check out his work as his price for
Medical patients are good
my medical runs out in July 2024 but we should be able to grow Rec at the end of June 2024
so we will see
All the best and have a great day

@sdoyle @happilyretired nice of you both to say so
the floor in my grow room has taken a beating should have put drains in the floor
or maybe using saucers
might just redeck the floor over the old one with 2 x 10 s
lots of Amish sawmills rough cut is cheap if I can find Larch that is water proof
it is time to get back to it, here is to a great season for all

A great day to one and all
So it is time to get the show on the road
Last spring was the first time i used LEDs to grow and had so so results it was my
fault as I did not really do too much research and just used them like I would use
any HID light
when I started back up a couple of weeks or so ago, I sprouted seeds and for the first two weeks
they sat there and did very little growing
I had my room at 75 -77 and humidity at 75 %, after looking at charts for VPD, DLI etc
things were not getting any better any time soon started praying for spring to come or maybe
setup the lights I know and love
after building 1900 watts of LEDs I decided I will grow with them even if it kills me and my plants
so bask to reading and research
Lo and Behold I found the answer to my problem what a dumb ass I am sometimes
my room needed to be hotter as the LEDs give off no or little infrared light so the temperature
of my leaves were cold
I changed the temp to 82 -83 with a RH of 80 - 81 and in two days my plants are growing like a
house a fire
I will put up photos later as I do not have any here at work
my problem now is I am doing everything in my power to not plant seeds those little gems
are like heroin to me
all the best and grow well
